I think the point on forgotten frame works / new tech is -- nothing is _really_ new. Knowing ten web frameworks inside out isn't really 10x more than knowing on

I think the point on forgotten frame works / new tech is -- nothing is _really_ new. Knowing ten web frameworks inside out isn't really 10x more than knowing one, because they have a tremendous amount of overlap. Relatedly, I've forgotten how a couple frameworks work because there's nothing interesting left behind, that isn't present in the newer ones. I'm quite sure if I had to go pick one back up, it would look very familiar. perhaps I know more about it now than I did when I "knew" it.

Great, but that means that for the "knowing frameworks" box, there is no advantage in hiring an experience dev over a younger one.

  The general thrust of this thread is that there is no advantage in hiring an experienced developer over a younger one. You might be getting a mid-six-figure salary in your first job, but you probably ought to be socking it away because you can't expect raises.

You didn’t work with a C# ASP.Net WebForm dev who before that was a WinForm dev trying to grok ASP.Net MVC.
